Instagram and Facebook Music are powerful platforms for music discovery, especially for independent artists. Millions of users create Reels, Stories, and posts every day using music, making these platforms an essential part of modern music promotion. With SunoDistro, you can distribute your music directly to Instagram Music and Facebook Music, allowing your tracks to be used across Meta platforms.

This guide explains how Instagram and Facebook Music distribution works on SunoDistro, requirements, approval timelines, and best practices.

How Instagram & Facebook Music Distribution Works

When you upload a release on SunoDistro and select Instagram / Facebook as destinations, your music goes through a review process. After approval, your track is delivered to Meta’s music library, where it becomes available for:

• Instagram Reels

• Instagram Stories

• Facebook Stories

• Facebook posts and videos

Users can search your song by artist name or track title and use it in their content.

You do not need a separate Meta account to upload music. Everything is managed through your SunoDistro dashboard.

Requirements for Instagram & Facebook Music

To ensure smooth approval, your release must meet these requirements:

• High-quality audio (WAV or high-quality MP3)

• Square artwork (3000 × 3000 pixels, JPG or PNG)

• Clean and accurate metadata

• Correct language and genre selection

• Proper explicit content marking

Incorrect metadata or artwork is the most common reason for delays on Meta platforms.

Approval & Availability Timeline

Most releases on SunoDistro receive same-day approval if all guidelines are followed.
After approval, Instagram and Facebook typically take 2–5 days to make the music available in their library.

Because Meta processes music separately from streaming platforms, availability timing may vary slightly by region.

Lyrics & Instagram Music

Lyrics play an important role on Instagram Music. Providing correct lyrics improves:

• Search visibility

• User engagement

• Professional appearance

Lyrics must:

• Match the audio exactly

• Be submitted in plain UTF-8 text

• Match the selected language

Instrumental tracks should not include lyrics.

Explicit Content Rules on Meta Platforms

If your song contains:

• Strong language

• Sexual references

• Offensive or sensitive content

You must mark it as Explicit during upload.

Meta platforms strictly enforce explicit labeling. Incorrect marking can result in removal or limited availability.

Clean and explicit versions must always be uploaded as separate releases.

How Artists Benefit from Instagram & Facebook Music

Distributing your music to Instagram and Facebook helps you:

• Reach new audiences organically

• Increase song recognition through Reels and Stories

• Boost engagement without paid ads

• Build a stronger social media presence

Many songs go viral first on Instagram before gaining traction on streaming platforms.

Common Instagram & Facebook Music Issues to Avoid

• Changing artist name spelling across releases

• Using artwork with logos or text

• Missing explicit content marking

• Incorrect language or genre selection

• Uploading incomplete or incorrect lyrics

Avoiding these mistakes ensures long-term availability.

Royalties & Usage

Instagram and Facebook Music primarily focus on discovery rather than direct streaming payouts. Earnings may come from licensed usage, but the main value lies in promotion, reach, and fan growth.

Your music remains available on Meta platforms as long as the release stays active on SunoDistro.

Conclusion

Instagram and Facebook Music distribution through SunoDistro gives artists a powerful way to reach listeners where they spend the most time—on social media. By following guidelines, uploading accurate metadata, and marking content correctly, you can maximize visibility and engagement across Meta platforms.

SunoDistro handles the distribution so you can focus on creating and promoting your music.
